Mayor's Ride & Roswell Moves! Return April 30th

BY WHEELS

Naturally, an event by Bike Roswell, Roswell’s local cycling advocacy organization, has to have some fun on-bike activities planned! That’s why one of the best ways to enjoy Roswell Moves is by bike:

1. MAYOR’S RIDE: For those wanting a full day of activities challenge yourself with this fully supported ride. Routes of 18, 45 and 64 miles take you along Roswell’s best neighborhood routes, tree lined streets and our beautiful river corridor. For additional information on Mayor’s Ride Registration click here.

2. BIKE PARADE: Starting at 11:00AM Canton Street is closed to cars and open to people. We kick things off with a relaxed bike parade from Heart of Roswell Park. Come with your best bike decorations and help us get the party started!

3. KIDS BIKE SAFETY RODEO: Presented by the Historic Roswell Kiwanis, the 20th Kid’s Bike Safety Rodeo will help kids start the ride season off right and safe with this fun and instructional bike rodeo. Kids will get their bikes checked by a REI mechanic, helmets check for proper fit, and practice their handling and safety skills so they can ride safely this spring and summer. All participants receive a free Roswell Moves t-shirt!

4. REI PUMP TRACK: For little and big kids alike the REI pump track brings a taste of Big Creek Park and Roswell’s mountain biking vibe to Canton Street. Use your own bike or try out one of REI’s demo bikes.
